Also known as Submission Grappling and Submission Wrestling, the No-Gi has the same theoretical approach as it is in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, without the benefit "or disadvantage" of a Kimono to grab. The main differences between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi are on speed and grips.

In the standup game of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the Gi allows the application of combined Judo techniques, similar as seeing on Judo competitions. The fight on the ground is the main goal in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the Gi allows the practioner to criate and develop numerous technical variables to control and finish the fight.

Throws and takedowns used in No-Gi are closely resemble as it is in Wrestling. No-Gi ground game once more goes into techniques that are mostly adaptations of traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu mixed with some wrestling techniques.In the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ground game the movements can be more methodical based on the Gi grips while in No-Gi style of Jiu-Jitsu it tend to be more fluid, dynamic and fast-paced, demanding a more intense physical conditioning from the practitioners.
